Dear Mom, Dad and Jim:
Feel good today as I just received a couple of letters. One from you Mom and one from you Dad.
We are still in port but for how long I dont[sic] know. Wish I could tell you just where I am but some day when I get home we can all sit down together and talk for hours.
If you dont[sic] hear from me for awhile you know I am out somewhere so please dont[sic] worry.
I heard today that our air born[sic] troops have occupied Japan. I guess we can realy[sic] say the war is over now.
Ive[sic] been thinking a lot lately about finishing school when I get home again but Im[sic] I would feel too much out of place back in high school.If[sic] Al and Jim were to go back too it would be like old times.
Well brother Jim I guess you are just about ready to go back to school. Boy, I can sure remember when I thought if only I could get out of school everything would be fine. Right now Id[sic] give my right arm to be back there again.
Ill[sic] bet Ben is anxious for them to lower the point system. The way I have it figured he should have around forty points now. Well folks I guess thats[sic] it for now but more tomorrow,
With all my love Gene
P. S. I love you and miss you
